2) Since this Mini Gift Basket is to be constructed from cardstock, it would be advisable that only lightweight gifts be placed inside of Gift Basket. Also, ribbon or string handles are stronger than the paper handle.

3) The height of the handle can be adjusted according to the reader’s preference, ie: the paper handle can be shortened or the handle can be lengthened if the reader prefers to use longer ribbon/string.
